1: Natural raffia, first of all, pure natural is its biggest feature, it has strong toughness, can be washed, and the finished product has a high-quality texture. It can also be dyed, and can be divided into finer fibers according to needs. The disadvantage is that the length is limited, and the crocheting process requires constant wiring and hiding of thread ends, which is very demanding of patience and skills, and the finished product will have some fine fibers curled up.
2: Artificial raffia, imitating the texture and luster of natural raffia, soft to the touch, rich in color, and very plastic. Novices are recommended to buy this one. (It has a little elasticity, and novices should not hook it too tightly or it will deform). The finished product can be simply washed, do not rub it vigorously, do not use acidic detergents, do not soak it for too long, and do not expose it to the sun.
3: Wide paper grass, cheap price, the finished product is thicker and stiffer, suitable for crocheting cushions, bags, storage baskets, etc., but not suitable for crocheting hats. The disadvantage is that it is too hard to hook and cannot be washed
4: Ultra-fine cotton grass, also known as raffia, single-strand thin thread, is also a type of paper grass. Its material is slightly different from paper grass, and its toughness and texture are better. It is very plastic and can be used to make hats, bags and storage. It can be used to crochet some more delicate small things, or it can be combined to make thicker styles. (If it becomes hard and difficult to crochet after being combined, it can also be softened with water vapor). It cannot be soaked in water for a long time. If there are stains, you can use a toothbrush dipped in detergent to scrub it, then rinse it with clean water and put it in a ventilated place to dry. The disadvantage is that the toughness is reduced when the specifications are too fine, and brute force cannot be used during the single-strand crochet process.
